Seven months ago, I wrote our Ministry Team an email and told them I felt that God wanted to begin a movement in NWA and the men in our church. I had no idea what God was going to do, but how the world has changed since September ’08.  I believe the movement was about my life; yes, God had to move me first before I could lead. To lead, I had to listen and to listen, I had to humble myself.

Today as you read this, I am humbled; humbled how God has moved us, how God has changed our priorities, changed our focus, and changed our lives. My great responsibility is my time with God daily.  I have prayed over the men’s registration list since the conference, and my prayer for you is this- that the men’s conference is the beginning for you to have a more in intimate relationship with God.

There are many men’s ministries in our church to support you in your journey with God. The Men’s Conference has another important meaning for me. As the Men’s Conference was wrapping up Friday night, I left the conference around 9pm and drove to Willow Creek Women’s Hospital where my grandson was born at 12:02 a.m. I will always remember that my grandson was born on the day that over 1000 men gathered.

God is moving and preparing us to influence the next generation.

We will be communicating with you soon the 2010 dates for the Men’s Conference.

Thank you Jesus!
